Urban Meyer: To oregon| Ducks| Oregon coach| James robinson
To Oregon:
Meyer has had success everywhere he’s been in the college ranks but he has a reputation of retiring suddenly, leaving that program searching for an immediate replacement.
He is also looked at as a coach with baggage, especially after his off-field issues with a woman who was not his wife at a bar this year in which he had to fight to win his Jackson Jaguars’ players’ respect back.
Ducks:
The Oregonian‘s John Canzano reported on Wednesday night that the Ducks were in contact with a coaching candidate who was currently in the NFL.
Urban Meyer, who is nearing the end of his first season coaching the Jacksonville Jaguars, was linked to the USC Trojans job earlier in the year, and many think that he might enjoy a trip back to college after struggling to gain any footing at the professional level.
Oregon Coach:
Of course, there’s more to a man than his record. By all accounts, Meyer is a shady individual who has been cloaked in controversy for much of his career.
There were allegations that he covered up a domestic violence abuse case for one of his coaches at Ohio State, and the leaked footage of him getting comfortable with a much younger woman at a bar he owns hours after a loss earlier this season certainly didn’t go over well.
It seems that the story with Meyer is never about the product on the field, and while he may win games, it comes at a major cost.
James Robinson:
In his first season with the Jaguars, Meyer has been a major source of drama. He hired Chris Doyle, whose tenure at Iowa ended amid allegations of racism and bullying, as the team’s director of sports performance.
(Doyle resigned shortly after being hired because he “did not want to be a distraction.”) He brought in Tim Tebow to compete for a roster spot as a tight end despite the fact that he had never played the position.
